I was actually successful in one that I literally got from the American version of The Office.

I conditioned one of my employees to want chewing gum after I did a clap motion with my hands: snap the fingers on both hands really quick and do a fist to palm tap and say "hey bud, want gum?" and because I specifically bought his favorite he would always say yes.

Eventually, and after months of doing it, I was walking around the office when I did the motion, but this time without gum. Now, he was on the fifth levek of the virtual world doing his shit fully concentrated and he STILL looked up at me looking anxious. I said "what's up?" and he just said nothing, that he felt that he was missing something but couldn't put the finger on it.

Just like in the show, he then complained that his mouth felt funny. Eventually he waddled his way to my office to ask for gum 🤣🤣🤣🤣

tl;dr I successfully Pavlov'ed one of my employees to have a need of chewing gum every time I do a finger snap clap motion.

I am the best manager in the world.

    I did this with chocolate, but did it to the whole company.

    anytime someone would agree with me, I gave them chocolate.

    it actually spiraled out of control to the point that people were gaming the system and were coming to me just to agree with me. they got special candies while the others got regular chocolate.

    you might think, "if they're gaming the system why would you give them more?" because, your best customers know the game and you can't fool them, so you get them addicted to being special. at that point it's not the candy they want, they just want someone to think they're special.

    I had the company literally eating out of my palm. I would go to meetings with candies, the people that didn't agree with me actually got upset that they didn't get any candy.

    funniest shit I ever saw.

    @AleCx04 that wouldn't be conditioning, you already crave tacos wherever you see my name here.
